Martin has created a fantastic website for me, taking original album artwork ideas and transforming them into a
beautifully designed, easy to navigate, professional website. I'm continuing to work with him on a variety of design
jobs and I'm constantly recommending him to other people as the best person to go to to transform an idea into a
beautiful finished product.
Boo Hewerdine, Singer/Songwriter
Martin is a wonder. He has a brilliantly creative brain. This and an amazing way with layout, text and colour.
He captures the spirit of a sleeve, a poster, a flyer, a booklet, artwork - whatever it may be - he offers a service
that is second to none. AND he keeps going. He sticks at stuff where others would give up. You know those moments when
you kinda, sorta think it's right but you kinda, sorta aren't quite certain... well Martin makes sure you get to the place
where you are absolutely, totally and utterly certain that whatever he gives you is the right way to go. And he does it with
the minimum of drama or fuss. Cost-effective and immediately responsive - I can't recommend him highly enough.
Hermione Ross - Black & Blonde Creative Solutions
In true 21st century style I met Martin on Twitter after a cry to the twittersphere for advice on maintaining my DIY
(and frankly pretty awful) website! I had always considered having someone design and maintain my website as hugely expensive
and impossibly complicated to explain what I wanted. Martin asked what I would like, in an ideal world. The task was to create
a website and to assemble the art work for my album 'House Of Cards' that when presented together showed a coherent and strong
image. With notebook and cup of coffee in hand, Martin seemed to bring to life my idea within a few seconds. It was brilliant.
Martin worked within my budget and left me with all the information I would need to do any basic maintenance. I recommend
him whole heartedly and will certainly be working with him in the future.
Emily Baker, Singer/Songwriter
Martin is an extremely creative designer with great ideas and a terrific eye for design and layout. He created
both the new Hafdis Huld website and the artwork for her Synchronised Swimmers album. In both cases he interpreted
our rather vague brief really well, coming up with ideas and approaches that absolutely 'hit the spot'.
I would definitely work with him again and I'd thoroughly recommend him to anyone wanting an original and
eyecatching website or album cover. He's also a very good bloke.
Kerry Harvey-Piper - owner, Red Grape Management
Love the artwork you have done for my album. It's edgy dark and broken. Perfect for Imperfectly Me!
Frances Ruffelle, Singer (via Twitter)
I have been thrilled with the work Martin has done for me. After discussing website and artwork ideas, he produced beautiful
layouts that showed an intuitive understanding of what I had envisaged, but WAY better! In addition to being very pleasant
to work with, he is an incredibly talented artist and designer. After working with him on the website, I went on to engage
him to do my album artwork. I would recommend him - and, indeed, have done - to anyone who wanted to produce something
really special.
Kami Thompson - musician
Martin is an exceptionally creative human being who gets business. Martin skillfully and expertly understood my needs in terms
enabling me to reach and connect to as many people through web-based means. He designed and implemented a website from an
inexperienced and vague brief that I gave him. I have exceeded my own expectations thanks to Martin's skill! He came recommended
to me and subsequently I have gone on to recommend his services to as many people as possible.
Hannah White, musician
Martin designed some leaflets for me for an event I was attending. It was a tight schedule and he delivered the design work
in plenty of time to get it to the printers. He was incredibly easy to work with via email and very pleasant to meet in person.
He had an intuitive understanding of what it was I wanted, a good sense of humour and a creative flair that added rather
than over-shadowed what I was trying to do. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Amy Harrison - Harrisonamy Copywriting
I am very impressed with the high standard of work Martin has produced. He has excellent communication skills, is full
of creative flair and is a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a professional
and 'outside the box' approach to website design. Thank you for all your hard work and effort Martin. You are a star!
Lynda Nurse - Octopus Marketing
Martin combines an artist's ability and vision with the skill of an internet marketing professional. Our beautiful site
really reflects who we are and what we do and is often commented on by clients and customers. Martin listens carefully
to your brief, responds with both creativity and usability in mind and meets the deadlines he sets. A pleasure to work
with, on an ongoing basis.
